pyparallel and MAKE controller board for CRYDOM AC/DC switches

[Richard Siderits]

Greetings.  I am trying to write a small application for controlling CRYDOM 
AC and DC switches from the parallel port using pyparallel.  The project is 
described in the latest issue of MAKE magazine Vol.3 pg 86.  All of the 
examples are in C, VB, Linux, Unix but not a thing in Python.  Seems like a 
perfect application for a Python program or even a simple windowed app. 
Problem is I'm stuck.  How, for example, would I format the setData() to 
turn off data PIN 3?   If I knew that then.. Life, the Universe and 
Everything would be better.

Progress so far:

import parallel, time, ctypes
p=parallel.Parallel(1)
p.setData(0)
p.setDataStrobe(0)
print "Boy are you stuck!"

THANKS for any help!!
